Priority fixes

  1. [title_readability] Increase the ASTRAL PLANES subtitle font size and weight, or simplify the banner to ensure the DLC name remains legible at 120x45 thumbnail size.
  2. [genre_clarity] Introduce a subtle strategic UI element or iconographic cue such as a star map overlay or hex grid ghost to signal the 4X strategy genre to new viewers.
  3. [uniqueness_polish] Differentiate this DLC capsule more distinctly from other Stellaris entries by adding a unique visual motif tied to Astral Planes gameplay, such as dimensional rift geometry or planar tear framing.
  4. [contrast_color] Slightly increase the size or brightness of the spacecraft silhouette so it retains a readable presence at small capsule size and reinforces the sense of scale.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [hook_strength] Replace the opening short description with a strong value proposition that leads with the core new mechanic or experience—e.g., 'Tear rifts through space-time to explore alternate realities and reshape your empire with reality-bending technologies' instead of listing features without context.
  2. [feature_communication] Add concrete, mechanical descriptions: specify what 'new Actions' and 'Relics' actually do in gameplay, how 'Rifts' function as a navigation system, and what player choices in branching narratives unlock or change (e.g., 'Your decisions alter empire traits, unlock exclusive techs, or unlock new Riftworld origins').
  3. [uniqueness] Articulate what makes Astral Planes mechanically different from base Stellaris or other expansions—e.g., if Rifts are a new layer of map/exploration, or if Riftworld origins offer a fundamentally new playstyle, lead with that distinction early.
  4. [audience_targeting] Add a sentence clarifying who this DLC is for—e.g., 'Ideal for explorers and roleplay-focused empires' or 'Expands deep strategy systems for veteran players'—to help the right player self-identify.
